Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) novel Chapter 1882

“Mom, to be honest, you don’t have to be so skeptical,” Xyla Quest said.

However, Sharon Lindt rolled her eyes at Xyla. “It’s always better for women to be a little more careful. You might think I’m usually very carefree, but I’m much more cautious than you are in this regard.

“You really should be more wary. If your man cheats on you, and you don’t even know it, yet you keep giving everything you have in the relationship, don’t you think that’s sad?” Sharon asked.

They were both women. Sharon could relate to the feeling all too well.

At that moment, Xyla felt as if she was turning to mush on the inside.

Sharon did care about her.

Otherwise, why would she say those things about her son?

Xyla chuckled. “Mom, don’t worry. I know where to draw the line.”

“If that’s the case, you wouldn’t have believed in everything he said,” Sharon replied.

“That’s not true,” Xyla maintained.

Sharon shook her head helplessly, a look of annoyance flashing on her face. “Regardless, you shouldn’t get involved in this matter anymore. I’ll deal with Stanley from now on.”

Xyla was speechless.

“Have you eaten?” Sharon asked.

“Yeah,” Xyla replied.

“Are you full? Is there anything in particular that you’d like to eat? I’ll get it for you.” Sharon naturally wrapped her arm around her shoulders.

The longer Sharon studied Xyla, the more she liked her.

Sharon didn’t know if Stanley would be lucky enough to spend the rest of his life with her.

Xyla nodded. “Yeah, I’m full. Mom, would you like something to drink? I’ll send someone to get it for you.”

How could Sharon still be in the mood for beverages?

She turned to gaze at Xyla. “Is this his so-called ‘sister’?” she asked in a hushed voice.

Xyla nodded.

Before Xyla could say anything, Sharon’s face turned frosty.

Right then, Stanley looked over at Sophie. “You can head upstairs first. I’ll let you know when to come down later.”

His tone was soft, and the look in his eyes was gentle, further enraging Sharon at the sight of this.

She pinned Xyla in a look of disbelief. “Does she already live here?”

Xyla smiled awkwardly. “We’ll talk about this later, Mom. It is just a misunderstanding.”

Sharon was unable to retort.

How could she not misunderstand?
